This is a repost from somewhere else. Because I’m lazy.
I’ve been working on some new music with my friend Mark G.Cooley. It’s a long-distance, file trading project. It sounds great so far. Lots of possibilities.
Mark is an incredible guitarist in the Kottke tradition and also has a keen understanding of the avant-garde and noise worlds. One piece I’ve begun working on sounds a bit like Ry Cooder and Robert Fripp being disembowled by Lord Kalki. Suffice to say, it’s pretty fucking catchy. A real West-East showdown.
I’ve also started messing around on a classical guitar-oriented piece, over which I shall add some electric skitters, my ghosty vocal harmonies and the odd soundwash.
We haven’t figured out what to call ourselves yet, though. I want to keep branding myself as “The Contrarian,” but this project deserves its own moniker, particularly since Mark is such a huge part of it.
Anyway, the collaboration is a saving grace for this old dog.
The only bad news is that I’m deaf in my left ear again.
Got something to say?

Christina Carter at a local art studio is quite a coup. Thank goodness you moved here, man!Speaking of CC, I reviewed the new Charalambides here.
